Bought this on official release day vs the InDev reviews that have been posted so far. Overall it's a nice looking game that will run well on medium hardware. I'm not going to give away any spoilers as it's a "story game" in the sense that you go around reading letters, tablets, pictograms and slowly get a gist of the back story. It's basically in the near future and earth is destroyed and you are part of a ship looking for a new home. While in orbit your ship is hit by some object and you crash land on the survey planet. You then have to go exploring while looking for food, water, and ways to maintain your body temperature. This is not Doom, think more Dear Esther in terms of gameplay. There really are no enemies (for the most part) and the only real threat are some traps and falling of high places. There is a day/night cycle with weather changes that effect your body temp. In all honesty I didn't really want to get caught up too much in the survival aspects of the game so I put it on a rather easy setting. I hear you can make it a real challenge with greater difficulty if that is your cup of tea. There are puzzles but for the most part they are very direct and kind of "fill this basin up with water to open a door" or put heavy rocks on these two floor panels which are only a couple of feet away from the bars blocking your path". If you're looking for Myst, this is not it. In terms of length it took me about 12.5 hours to finish and I unlocked probably a third of the secrets but I did take time to read all the messages/tablets/etc that I came across. I also got stuck in one area that probably added a good 1.5 hours to my game time. One thing I did not like was that there is a significant amount of back tracking done. This got to be fairly annoying as it could probably have shaved off a good 1-2 hours from the game by not having to simply go through the previous levels after you finish the objective for an area. I don't know why the developers did this other than to extend the game time but as a player it is not fun to complete the level objective and then have to do a speed run through the ENTIRE level to get back where you started so you can start the next section of the game. This could have been handled much better. The game ran smoothly and no crashes so it looks pretty stable. Pros: Interesting story of the planet that gets slowly told. Graphics= very good atmosphere. Good use of Unreal Engine 4 effects. Stable (no crashes during entire gameplay). Simple direct puzzle design. Cons: Simple direct puzzle design. Tons of back tracking. Ending was unfulfilling.
